immune system
• homozygotes display reduced apoptosis of SEB-activated CD8+ T cells in the liver, but not in the lymph nodes, kidney, or lung
• in an OT-1 TCR transgenic T cell-transfer system, homozygotes display a significantly reduced apoptosis of activated OT-1 CD8+ cells in the liver on day 5 after OVA peptide injection (11.2% vs 49.2% in wild-type controls)
• however, no significant differences in intrahepatic CD8+ T cell apoptosis are observed in naive homozygotes relative to wild-type controls
|
• homozygotes display spontaneous accumulation of CD8+ T cells in the liver (average ratio of intrahepatic CD8+ to CD4+ T cells is equal to 1.6 vs 0.46 in wild-type mice) and kidney (9.4% vs 3.2% in wild-type mice), with only a marginal increase observed in lung (11.6% vs 7.1% in wild-type mice)
• however, numbers of intrahepatic CD4+ T cells and B220+ B cells are not significantly altered
|
• naive homozygotes show a significant accumulation of activated CD8+ T cells in the liver as shown by surface marker expression analysis, with no differences noted in the lymph nodes
• 55.9% of mutant intrahepatic CD8+ T cells are CD62Llow relative to 12.7% in wild-type controls
• 85.6% of mutant intrahepatic CD8+ T cells are CD45RBlow relative to 12.3% in wild-type controls
• however, no differences in the expression of CD25 or CD44 are observed relative to wild-type controls
|
• following stimulation with staphylococcal enetrotoxin B (SEB), homozygotes show a normal proliferation phase but display impaired deletion of SEB-activated CD8+ Vbeta8+ T cells in the liver on day 7 of the contraction phase, when SEB-primed T cells are normally reduced by apoptosis
• following transfer of wild-type CD8+ OT-1 T cells and subsequent challenge with OVA peptide, homozygotes show significant accumulation and decreased apoptosis of activated CD8+ T cells in the liver
|
• in a model of experimental (ConA-induced) autoimmune hepatitis, homozygotes display accelerated hepatocyte damage and necrosis, higher serum GTP levels, increased infiltration of mononuclear cells and reduced apoptosis of CD8+ T cells in the liver relative to wild-type controls
• 40% of homozygotes die upon induction relative to only 10% of wild-type controls
